Most of the digital humanities narratives are based on the technologies that help scholars build objects. However, many times those digital humanities narratives are rather descriptive or acritical. In recent years, the principles of open scholarship or open science have taken part of public policies in many countries and regions. Many of the principles of open science (though not necessarily its policies) emphasize the use of open software and hardware to promote the openness of datasets, research methodologies, reusable digital resources, etc. In this talk, I will reflect on the advantages and challenges of open workflows, data repositories, and open software in digital humanities projects.

Her work focuses on digital scholarly editions, metadata standards, and developing digital humanities in Spanish-speaking regions. She has led numerous projects bridging traditional philology with digital methodologies and established important networks for digital humanities researchers across Latin America and Spain.
